Comalapa Family Restaurant

So glad I stumbled upon this restaurant! The super-friendly owner greeted me immediately and walked me through the menu, explaining how they serve more than just Mexican food. I ordered guacamole to start and it was great! The owner explained how they make each order fresh, and you can really tell!For my meal, I had the Mole Enchiladas. Mole sauce was great, but I was more impressed with the chicken. I will definitely be back with some friends to try some tamales and Pupusas!

I haven't had Ceviche in years and decided to stop in today. OMG. I'm so glad I did. The Ceviche was made to order and it was awesome. I enjoyed it so much, that's why the photo shows half of it gone. Very impressive for a 1st visit

I went in quickly for a Togo order because I was starving and had never been here before. Just decided to get a basic grilled chicken quesadilla , but it was not basic at all! It was honestly the best quesadilla I've ever had! It had onions on it which added so much flavor. It also came with quac, pico, lettuce and sour cream. Would 100% recommend!!

Friendly service and Decent food. We were the only patrons on a weekday early afternoon but the Food took a little longer than I thought as it was cooked fresh.

Best chicken tamale I've ever had! They've got great ceviche too, not very spicy tho... I'm thinking they toned it down for me. I don't speak Spanish so I had slight difficulty ordering, but after having worked in a place like this in CA, that's a good sign! Will definitely be back, often.

Comalapa tries for every south of the border flavor in our hemisphere - they have a huuuuge menu - but for us, nothing stood out. At all. Like eating shadows of the favorites we ordered, things were pretty blah.Papusas - eh - mild in corn and cheese flavors, a little tough. Got the "cheese and veggie" ones, they came with some interesting orange slaw I'd never seen that had an odd black pepper thing happening. Most interesting part of the meal.Rancheros - skip - chopped peppers, bland tomato sauce.Rice - something chinese-fried about it. Unexpected and unwelcome.Salsa, chips - watery, bland and fried waaay earlier, consecutively (to be fair, we hit them 10 minutes after they opened). Our waitress was sweet, and brought me some hot salsa. Not bad. All garlic. Owner guy greeted us loudly and enthusiastically, but if the food's meh...I'd estimate 90 percent of the menu is meat, and I hope that's where they excel, because for veggies, this ain't a stop to make.

Yum. You're going to enjoy the authentic traditional Mexican cuisine here like their tacos, but don't be afraid to try the Honduran or Salvadoran items, too. I liked the pupusa and chicken tamal. Spicing the food up with some side orders of guacamole or pico de gallo can be a real taste adventure and can make the difference between an average meal and a terrific one. This part of South Blvd. isn't really the best part of town, but don't let that scare you off. They also do carry out.

We arrived at 12pm on a Saturday. the restaurant was empty, except for 2 people who had finished and were leaving. The manager greeted us and was exceptionally nice. We placed our order at 12:10 which consisted of shrimp tacos and chimichangas. We noticed a few tables had come in, ordered, eaten their food, and left during our wait. Part of our order came out at 1:10pm, the shrimp tacos came out (cold) several minutes later. We finished eating in about 15 minutes and waited for our checks which were never brought to us. When asked (politely) why it took so long, the manager stated that the "rice wasn't ready" and he had to wait for the "majority of people," implying that he didn't want to make rice for just us. He then stated that he had "said his apologies" without actually ever apologizing for anything. We paid $39 for very little food that took an hour to arrive. the food was OK, but not nearly good enough for an experience in an empty restaurant that lasted nearly two hours (12pm to 1:49pm) in total. We will not be back.

Outstanding customer service and food, I don't go here often but I should definitely start. The quality of their food screams authenticity. I recommend compalas to anyone and the great thing is, they're open in the morning so you can have breakfast. Then turn around come back and have lunch. The staff will hold good conversations with you like your best friends. I get the Chimichanga with Rice and Beans! Try them for yourself

My birthday is Feb. 14th, and Valentine's Day birthday dinners for the group can be challenging, but we always find a great place. Last night was no exception. I've been wanting to try Comalapa Restaurant near us, and figured it wouldn't be too busy. Well, that was an understatement. I knew it was going to be a great night when we walked in and we were the ONLY customers there! Exceptional, personal service and great conversations with the owner. Not to mention, the food was SO good. Even mom's Grilled Vegetable Plate was outstanding. Barely any scraps left for a doggie bag. Thanks Francesco for a wonderful birthday celebration and feast!
